Everything You Need to Know Before Booking Machine Brows

Everything You Need to Know Before Booking Machine Brows

If you’re tired of filling in your eyebrows every morning and want a long-lasting, natural-looking solution, machine brows might be perfect for you! But before booking your appointment, here’s everything you need to know to ensure you’re making the right choice.


What Are Machine Brows?

Machine brows are a form of semi-permanent eyebrow tattooing that uses a specialised machine to implant pigment into the skin. Unlike microblading, which creates hair-like strokes with a manual blade, machine brows use a fine needle to build soft, pixelated layers of colour. This method results in a more natural, long-lasting finish and works well on all skin types, including oily skin.


How Long Do Machine Brows Last?

Machine brows typically last 2 to 3 years, depending on your skin type, lifestyle, and aftercare routine. While the pigment will gradually fade over time, you can maintain your results with a touch-up appointment every 12 to 18 months.


Are Machine Brows Painful?

Most clients report little to no pain during the procedure. A topical numbing cream is applied before and during the treatment to keep you comfortable. The sensation is often described as a light scratching or vibrating feeling.


Who Are Machine Brows Best For?

✅ Anyone with sparse, overplucked, or thinning brows
✅ People who want a low-maintenance beauty routine
✅ Those with oily skin (since microblading fades faster on oily skin)
✅ Anyone looking for a soft, natural, or more defined brow look


How Do I Prepare for My Appointment?

To ensure the best results, follow these pre-care guidelines:

  • Avoid alcohol, caffeine, and blood-thinning medications (like aspirin) 24 hours before your appointment.
  • No retinol, AHA/BHA skincare, or chemical peels on the brow area for at least a week prior.
  • Do not wax, tweeze, or tint your brows one week before your treatment.
  • You will be asked to list any medical conditions or current medications on the booking form. Some medical conditions or medications can prevent treatment, so it's important we know about this before your appointment.

What is the Healing Process Like?

Healing takes around 7-14 days, but full results appear after 4-6 weeks. Here’s what to expect:

  • Days 1-2: Brows look darker and slightly swollen.
  • Days 3-5: Some flaking and mild itching as the skin heals.
  • Days 6-10: Brows may appear lighter before the pigment settles.
  • Week 4: Final healed results are visible.

How Do I Take Care of My Brows After Treatment?

  • Keep your brows dry for the first 24 hours.
  • Avoid sweating, swimming, and excessive sun exposure for at least 10 days.
  • Do not pick or scratch peeling skin – let it flake off naturally.
  • Apply the recommended aftercare ointment as instructed by your technician.
  • You will be given full aftercare at your appointment but these above are important points to factor in when booking your treatment.
